  1. Two very rare incidents stand out in my mind… 1.Witnessing locals ice skating on a frozen flood in a local field in January. 2.The closest lightning strike of my life on the afternoon of Friday 25th August.
  2. It was dry enough to get the bedding 90% dry so that’s ok. Clearest looking sky of the day now, as it’s practically dark! Naturally!
  3. On the back of every forecast, app and chart indicating a similar day to yesterday I have got all our bedding washed and on the line/airers. It is now drizzling !!!!! Of course! Nothing on the radar! Hateful!
  4. That’s so disappointing isn’t it! Thankfully it cleared here around 13.30 and there was lovely hazy sunshine when I popped to the town park.
  5. The regional threads seem inaccessible at the moment.
  6. Ditto however I try to access it. Only the regionals.
  7. Adults or children’s football? My team Westbury United are due to play in the New Forest at Bashley this Saturday. There’s a few of us in this thread with involvement in local adult leagues.
  8. Well when the sun came up and was shining brightly around 08.30 I was hopeful of a fine day. Gloom, mist and fog prevail since soon after that! So little sun recently, even on the dry days.
  9. Quite a drop in temperature this evening. It had been around 7.5c to 8c all day while East of the rain band. My son looked at my weather station an hour ago and said “daddy it’s 4.6c outside”. That surprised me, by the way it’s 4.2c now.
  10. Definitely in a fortunate position so far today with that heavy rain stuck only a few miles to the West. It rained properly for about an hour after dawn but since then just drizzly.
  11. Lovely scenery on the A350 driving from Westbury to Warminster at about 16.00, lots of evidence on the hills of the white fog deposits from this morning.
  12. It has continued on and off all morning, even with some sunshine which makes it glitter beautifully! Guess that’s where the diamond dust name comes from.
  13. Is there an official term for crystallised fog/diamond dust? I hadn’t seen it happen for about 15 years until this morning!
  14. Guys we have literally had crystallised fog falling IMBY in the last half hour. Different amounts front and back.
  15. Really could do with some of that blue sky here. This week, except Monday, seems to have only been clear in the evening and overnight! I haven’t seen the sun properly since Monday afternoon! A mixture on various days of low cloud, mist, fog, thick medium level cloud, frontal cloud. You name it! And it’s gloomy now too.
